What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Inclusivity is a golden thread that runs through St Nicholas Church School. Pupils say that everyone is welcome at their school. Parents who responded to Ofsted Parent View reflect this. Pupils demonstrate the school values in their day-to-day interactions with each other and adults. Relationships between adults and pupils are strong. Pupils know that trusted adults will help them if they have a worry or concern. Pupils feel safe. The school has high expectations of all pupils. This begins in Reception Year, where routines are well established. Children flourish in the well-organised classroom and outdoor area. They are inquisitive and keen to learn. Pupils, including those in the resource base, have positive attitudes to learning and are eager to share their ideas. As a result, classrooms are purposeful, and pupils learn without disruption. Pupils enjoy the opportunities they get to develop their interests and talents. These include chess club, basketball club and singing in the school choir. Pupils make a positive contribution to their community through the leadership roles the school provides. They are proud to be house captains and pupil leaders. Pupils enjoy organising whole-school events, such as 'run for reading' to fundraise for new reading books. All of this helps pupils to understand the importance of being a responsible citizen.
What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the key knowledge the school wants pupils to learn is not clearly identified. As a result, pupils have gaps in what they know and remember. The trust needs to ensure that the key knowledge is precisely defined and then check that pupils have learned the intended curriculum.
